San Joaquin Valley (California) - Wink Travel Guide

The San Joaquin Valley of California stretches from the Tehachapi Mountains north of Los Angeles up to Sacramento. Largely agricultural, the area is some of the most fertile and important farmland in the world.

For the tourist, it does not have great sightseeing opportunities or many locations of great historical value; however, the Central Valley's location fairly close to both the Bay Area and the Sierra Nevada Mountains is worth noting.

While most of the land is treeless, there are a few preserves that are scattered through the Central Valley where woodlands can be found.
